    This month we sat down with Dr. Pippa Gibbons - Assistant Professor of Practice at Texas Tech University. Dr. Gibbons discusses her background in small ruminant medicine and her work developing a survey to identify common clinical cases and skills needed for new veterinarians, with the goal of creating a “day-one” competency list for sheep and goat practice. This episode highlights how these findings can improve veterinary education, externships, and preparedness for real-world practice, especially in mixed and rural settings. They also emphasize the importance of programs like the AASRP Sam Guss Scholarship in supporting student externships and exposure to small ruminant medicine.
